Nightvision

[madhojo]

Needs a serious buff. especially considering the enemies can see you as if they had dayvision.

Not really tbh, though having the NVGs shoot out a "beam" like the flashlight to where your cursor would be nice.

Serious buff? 3rd gen nightvision on night run is good enough to feel like hunting blind in the fog

It has upgrades, and it does show an area around your mouse from far. You have full vision of everything except for a outer edges of circle. if the whole screen will just be green it's pointless mechanic.

The enemies can't see you " as if the had day vision" . If you fires your weapon the muzzle flare reveal your position.

I once literally ran into hunter in the dead of the night. the guy literally didn't see me until I bumped in to him.

I think OP meant animals. Those can see you just as well as during daytime. Nothing you can do about those, you just gotta tread carefully. I tested out my gen 2 NVGs yesterday, it was one of the more stressful times in this game... After that test run (which I survived until daybreak before I extracted out of there), I told myself I'm never going to hunt at night anymore. I will only use my NVG when I'm starting my hunt at 4 pm and accidentally stayed too long out in the field.

Having said this, switching off your NVG every so often and paying attention to headlamps from bandits is good. Switch them on and scout with your rifle scope, but switch them off to get a general idea of their positions. With a suppressor on and some luck, you can pick them off with little impunity.

Night vision completely tips the game in your favour though? Honestly I feel like the 1st tier of night vision is too strong, since tier 2 and tier 3 are only minor upgrades over it.

Once you get night vision and a decent scoped weapon, you gain a massive advantage over human enemies. The industrial zone at night (with goggles) vs during the day is a completely different experience.

Enemy humans cant see you as if they have day time vision, they just remember where you are if you shoot because you emit a small amount of light when you fire. If you scope from range, you can quickly kill 2 or 3 of them then retreat so far away they cant see you and repeat.

Balance suggestions made by people with private profiles are not worth listening too.

The guy probably only has 3 hours in the game.

I personally like the way NV is done. Having used PVS-14's in real life, I always appreciate when a game sets limits to field of view and effectiveness of night vision. Tarkov does this pretty well in an FPS and I think this game does it pretty well for a top down shooter. I have not tried the highest tier NVGs but I assume that since the tier 2 NVGs are pretty good the final tier is probably OP as hell.

[Baron01]

NVGs are very powerful, even its 1st gen version. Night alone gives you huge benefit against human enemies. Using NVGs and silencer on your weapons make you extremely overpowered.

I often go to mall hunting for Kiba while using latest version of NVGs during night because it removes risk from encounters with other hunters. Night does not seem to affect non-human enemies and it also seems that bosses, Lazzarus or Kiba, also does not seem to care much about night.

the good nvgs are fine... the cheaper ones suck ass

Hey I'm not some "influencer" so I don't need all that free publicity and try 26 hours in game.

No that's fair, I absolutely hate to have my vision impaired by anything no matter what it is. Those games where the best gear also obscure your vision? Yeah I find a way to win without the stuff. So for me, I hate it, but I can see most people like it so fair enough. Plus it irks me that by hitting RMB you can extend your nvg range... so clearly the Dev isn't going for full on realism.

Also I should have said Alerted Enemies as they do have ESP and will fire upon you around a 65 degree arc without being able to "see you" as in your character is in perfect darkness with a silenced weapon. They do not fire randomly at the area you were last seen EX Suppressing fire, instead they have an arc near where you were last seen that they will fire upon you as soon as you show yourself from heavy cover IE a rock.
